I put this as a comment to a post a few minutes ago. On reflection it is so important to British passport holders wanting to renew/replace their passport it deserves a post of its own. 1. The British Embassy has nothing whatever to do with these matters. 2. VFS act as agents for His Majesty's Passport Office in Thailand. NOW THE IMPORTANT BIT: VFS ARE RUNNING DOWN THEIR Trendy Building HQ in BANGKOK (Sukhumvit Soi 13) where they have been forever and a day. You are still OK "ish" at Trendy Building to 18.3.24. From 24.3.24 address will be VFS Thailand, The Shoppes at Belle Grand Rama 9, 131/1, 141/1, Unit BS003-BS003/1, 1st Floor, Rama 9, Huay Kwang, Bangkok, 10310. The Chiang Mai VFS office motors on as before, in fact to my eye has longer hours. However though the costs have risen a lot there ie +GBP76.50 as against Bangkok. Wherever, it is needed to book an appointment. I'm guessing that may now be difficult (?) for Trendy Building at the moment.

Hi, a friend of mine is needing to renew his uk passport. What's the best way to go about this please? Agent fees if he was to use them and a recommendation if possible. Is it possible do online yourself, if so.. Do you need to send in the old passport? As this creates obvious problems....?

Any advise appreciated.. TIA 👍😉

Tod Daniels I need advice on Non Immigration Business visa. If an Indian Passport Holder needs a Business Visa from a Company in Bangkok, Thailand what would be the process for the India guy seeking visa and Thailand Company giving invitation letter or required documents ?
